When my now wife and I got engaged, we knew we wanted to be married in Philadelphia. After we expressed this in talking to our families, there was only one wedding group we were told to book with being Cescaphe. As someone who was unfamiliar with Cescaphe, I had only heard lofty things about them. My now sister in law had a wedding with the group and I only heard legendary stories of service and food. Many people who were there had told me it was the "best weeding they had ever been too." Needless to say I had high expectations lol.

When contacting them, I knew they were right immediately. They were so unbelievably responsive. I'm very keen on great customer service, so internally I was feeling special and taken care of. We set up tours of all of the beautiful venues we were interested in, and were given straightforward options with zero BS. When working with other wedding groups I've heard horror stories regarding hidden fees or add ons but not with this company. They were so transparent you could have been illiterate and it made sense.

After personalized tours followed by them answering every question you could think of, we eventually landed on the gorgeous venue located on S. Broad Street called "The Lucy." They worked with us in getting great pricing for our budget, and from there catered everything in their power to make sure our wedding was customized to us. I felt like we were preparing to get married at an all inclusive, with it all being managed by the amazing event coordinator Emily Goodrich. DETAILS PEOPLE. Cescaphe cares about every last one of them. I was stunned to the level of food options and customization of every preference from which flavor of the delicious sorbet we wanted (which I didn't know I needed lol) to the very trim on EVERY layer of the cake. Hell, we even got a customized ice sculpture included where somehow the artist got our own cat in the "LOVE" sign wearing an Eagles hat. Again lol DETAILS.

The wedding day was perfect and magical. We had to pinch ourselves. It was a production but executed exceptionally in every area. Emily, our coordinator made us feel like VIP's with personal assistants. The entire day she made sure we and our parents were waited on exclusively, so no matter the amount "hellos" we made sure to give to all of our guests, we had a drink in our hand and something to eat. Butler service for every second. I have never had this level of service in my life. I seriously cannot make this up.

FOOD. Cescaphe has the best food. Ontop of the 40+ hors d’o'euvres, Cescaphes dinner options made the evening even more special. Every meal was ordered at the table with the temperature of every steak taken directly there as well. I had one of if not the best meal of my life that night. Couples there is a surprise!! Oh yeah and we had a breakfast buffet after dinner. We were stuffed.

In closing I hope every person gets this level of care and thoughtfulness to details on their wedding day. It made it truly magical and created memories we will never forget. It may have been our wedding, but I personally feel that was the best wedding I have ever been too. Other people have told us this lol. YOU DESERVE THE BEST!! Hire Cescaphe and your day will be the best day of your life. Thanks again to Cescaphe and Emily for being the very best at their craft. You are the absolute gold standard of wedding companies in Philadlephia.

Cescaphe knows what they’re doing, and they do it well! The beautiful Ballroom was the perfect venue for us, and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. Our Coordinator, Lilly, was amazing to work with and made our day stress-free. Our wedding day was an absolute dream and we truly felt like the guests of honor. 10/10 recommend!

Cescaphe was incredible! We got married at Vie in August. The outdoor ceremony space was perfect, even in the heat (we gave all of our guests fans and tissues as they walked in.) Our guests also enjoyed the courtyard throughout the reception for cigar smoking, cornhole, and mingling away from the very busy dancefloor. The venue itself is spacious and well-decorated, with tons of natural light, new wood floors, and the incredible mosaic in the atrium. All of our guests raved about the food (it really is that incredible), the staff (so accommodating!), and the seamlessness of coordination with the Cescaphe trolley. We planned most of the wedding from California, and felt very comfortable working with Joanna who accommodated our schedule and virtual meeting needs. Our maitre’d was Marsi, who was responsive, patient, and kind - she made sure we ate all night and kept us on time for everything. The bridal suite was absolutely necessary - we used it a lot for staging, changing, and taking a moment for ourselves.If you can swing it, Cescaphe is the best!
